Assignment:
Going Grant Crazy
It’s hard to obtain approval for initiatives in our schools. The pot of money is limited and
the competition is fierce. Finding creative solutions to funding are often the route to
ensure that we don’t miss critical support for student success
In this formative assessment, you will evaluate your initiative that you have been
cultivating in this course for funding outside of the traditional dollars allocated to
schools. You will need to develop a plan for funding that is creative and innovative. 
Please investigate possible funding sources for your specific solution. Both
grants and donors are applicable funding sources, although you may also find
others.
You may find grants on these sites, although you are not limited to the ones listed here:

Please turn in a brief overview that defines the problem/solution and creative funding
source to be utilized. Please be sure to explain why this specific funding source is the
best match for your solution. It’s okay if you need a mixture of funds from the district
budget and grants, but be sure to be clear so that both parties understand their
contribution and why one is not sufficient.
This should be completed in APA format.
